Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has outlined major development milestones achieved under his administration, painting a picture of steady progress in key sectors while reaffirming his commitment to transforming the county’s economic and social landscape.

Delivering the State of the County Address, Lusaka said his government has made significant strides in agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure, and youth empowerment, noting that these gains are already improving livelihoods across Bungoma.

“Our focus has been on practical, people-centered development that directly impacts households. We are investing in sectors that matter most to our people,” Lusaka stated.

In agriculture, the Governor highlighted the distribution of free and subsidized farm inputs to thousands of vulnerable farmers, a move he said has boosted food production and strengthened food security. He emphasized that empowering farmers remains central to the county’s economic agenda.

On healthcare, Lusaka pointed to ongoing upgrades of health facilities, improved access to essential medical services, and enhanced support for maternal and neonatal care. “We are committed to ensuring that every resident can access quality and affordable healthcare,” he said.

The Governor also cited infrastructure development as a key pillar of his administration, noting the expansion and rehabilitation of road networks to ease transport and open up rural areas for trade and investment.

Youth and women empowerment featured prominently in the address, with Lusaka highlighting initiatives such as the issuance of car wash machines and support for small enterprises aimed at creating jobs and promoting financial independence.

Despite the progress, Lusaka acknowledged challenges, including delayed disbursement of funds, which he said continue to affect service delivery. He called for stronger collaboration with the national government and development partners to bridge funding gaps.

“We must work together to unlock Bungoma’s full potential. Through partnerships and prudent use of resources, we can achieve sustainable development,” he added.

As he concluded his address, Lusaka reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to transparency, accountability, and inclusive growth, urging residents to remain united in driving the county forward.
